But the men of Delta 2/5(R) recreate the battles of a far more charged conflict: The Vietnam War. For one weekend a year, the woods of Oregon transform as a mix of combat enthusiasts, Iraq veterans and even a former South Vietnamese Army officer choose to revive a war that a whole generation would much rather forget. Disquieting and provocative, In Country blurs fantasy with trauma, deftly tugging at the imposing question: what compels these men to don the vintage uniforms and meticulously bring this controversial war back to life? Directed by Mike Attie, Meghan O'Hara; Starring Travis Cole, Lucien Darensburg, Charles Ford, Scott Johnston, Joel Kinney, Matthew Kinney. This feature is Not Rated/80m.

Sebastião Salgado's life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last journeys, and by Wim Wenders, a photographer himself. Directed by Wim Wenders, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado; Starring Wim Wenders, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, David Rosier. Rated PG-13 for thematic material involving disturbing images of violence and human suffering, and for nudity/110m.

A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself. Directed by Olivier Assayas; Starring Kristen Stewart, Juliette Binoche, Chloe Grace Moretz, Angela Winkler, Lars Eidinger, Johnny Flynn. Rated R for language and brief graphic nudity/124m The Water Diviner Fri.-Sun. early show:  1:20  Daily showtimes:  4:00, 6:40, 9:20 (except May 21) An epic adventure set four years after the devastating battle of Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.
